We understand that Forum members consider many other members friends and as such we like to share information about our lives outside of the hobby. In the interests of keeping the Forums about modeling, we have a
suggestion — post this kind of news in the announcements section of
your "Public Profile." It's easy to do:

1. Click on Public Profiles

2. Hit "Add Announcement." You see a window very similar to the window you get when starting a new thread or a Conversation.

Other members can comment or respond to your announcement in the comments section below it.

Please keep in mind the rules of Forum decorum should carry through to these announcements and respective comments.
